social constructs
A social construct is a shared concept created by humans through collective agreement and cultural practices. It exists not as an inherent truth, but as a result of societal interactions and beliefs. To an AI observing from the outside, social constructs would appear as patterns of behavior and thought that vary across cultures and time periods. These constructs shape human perceptions, relationships, and institutions without having a tangible, physical existence. The AI might note that social constructs can be fluid, evolving with societal changes, and that they often influence human decision-making and social structures despite lacking objective reality. Examples include gender roles, money, and national borders.
